Benjamin's parents, Ezekiel Baker and Hannah Sears of Greenwich gave intentions to marry in Hardwick, Massachusetts on October 2, 1785. Ezekiel is mentioned in the 1810 census for Marcellus. They are both buried in the Jackson Cemetery in Navarino.
It is unclear if Benjamin was born in Massachusetts or New York . The old history of this Baker family says they came to the Navarino and Marcellus area from Massachusetts in 1803. However,Benjamin's burial transcripts for Oakwood Cemetery ,whose information was given by his wife, seem to indicate he was born in Massachusetts. At any rate, his parents and siblings all came from Massachusetts. Benjamin so far as is known was the last child born to his parents.
Benjamin married Eliza Wallace, born in New York, and had two known children:
Mary Jane Baker born 1829 in Onondaga County. She married Samuel J. Clark , a retired builder, and they resided in Syracuse. She was his second wife and they married before 1880 as mother Eliza Baker was living with them in that year. Her unmarried daughter, Sarah E. Baker , had already passed away.
Sarah E. Baker born 1831 in Onondaga County. She remained unmarried and lived with her widowed mother until her death.
Benjamin and his family lived in Spafford Township near Borodino and close to Marcellus in the 1840 census and in close proximity to Daniel and Mary Low Wallace. I have a strong feeling that these two were the parents of his wife, Eliza (Lucy?) Wallace. Nearby, in Spafford,close to the Bakers live more possible siblings. An article on Daniel Wallace says he came from Pittston, New York to Spafford with wife and four children. Among them was a daughter Lucy born about 1805-1806 who married an unknown Baker in Onondaga Valley. This Lucy is either our Eliza Wallace or there are a lot of coincidences as her age and husband's name are the same.
In the 1850 census Eliza is listed in Marcellus as head of family and had placed Benjamin the year previously in the rural State Road Cemetery (aka Seymour Farm Cemetery) a few miles from Marcellus.
However, by 1880, she was living in Syracuse and purchased three cemetery spaces in Oakwood Cemetery, one for her, daughter Sarah Baker and one for herself and one for husband Benjamin Baker.
On October 21, 1880 he was re-interred in Oakwood Cemetery after being removed from his plot in the old State Road Cemetery near Marcellus. Living in Syracuse as she was then, it appears she wished the whole family to be together. Her married daughter, Mary Jane Baker Clark also lies in Oakwood.
